One of the first things drilled into me in journalism was “Smith thinks” should be recast to “Smith said he thinks.”

The C-suite is likely well aware of limitations, but shareholders like to hear about the hot new thing.

The thing is, the idea isn’t wrong. Automating complex tasks is a bitch, but the repetitive tasks that turn any job into a grind are prime candidates. The larger issue is instead of letting employees spend more time doing fulfilling activities because of increased efficiency, companies tend to do layoffs.
